Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Wei Chi looked at Leng Xue, who was wearing a black suit and a mask, and said in a cold voice: "You are overthinking it. She probably just came to the rescue when she saw injustice. I don't know her at all."

This imperial concubine is quite strange, so many people are looking for her.

Or, is he looking for the ghost blood behind her?

Leng Xue looked at Wei Chi. He naturally didn't believe it, but the person in front of him might not tell him the news about the woman. He looked at the huge Prince Wei's Mansion with calm eyes and flew away.

This trip was originally intended to kill someone, but looking at the situation before him, it seemed that he could not kill Wei Chi. He had originally wanted to get some information from him, but it seemed that there was no hope. There was no need to waste time on someone he could not kill. He should find that woman as soon as possible. Guixuezi was not dead, and that was the most important thing. As for whether Wei Chi was dead or not, he was not the one who was worried. He had tried to kill him several times, but he could not kill him, so he would not kill him.

Wei Chi looked at the man flying away and stopped the captain of the guards who was chasing him.

"Sir, if this man is not eliminated, he will definitely come to assassinate us again next time. Do you want me to send someone to check his whereabouts?"

Wei Chi shook his head, a little solemn, "No need, you are not his match, he probably won't come again." He doesn't have the mind to assassinate me every day now.

Fortunately, Concubine Huang is in the palace. If she were to walk in the martial arts world, she would be hunted down and killed by countless people. The ghost-blooded man has many enemies. Just with her swordsmanship, she would cause a great disturbance in the martial arts world.

Night fell over Prince Wei's Mansion, and the quiet atmosphere was filled with tension.

An assassin sneaked into the palace and tried to assassinate Prince Wei! The news spread like wildfire and soon reached the ears of Prince Wei, Princess Wei, and Wei Cheng.

Prince Wei's face was stern, with a hint of determination in his eyes. He clenched his fists, secretly hoping that the assassin would succeed. He didn't want to see that evil son even for a day longer.

As soon as he returned to the palace, His Majesty handed him the military order. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort for Cheng'er to have served in the army for the past three years? I don't know what His Majesty was thinking, to hand over the military power to Wei Chi who had just returned to the capital.

A barely perceptible joy flashed across Princess Wei's beautiful face, her eyes were filled with viciousness, and she hoped that the assassin could kill Wei Chi.

Wei Cheng had an indifferent expression on his face. As soon as he came back, all the people in the mansion turned against him. It was a pity that such an assassination attempt failed to kill him.

The three of them had their own thoughts, but they all wanted Wei Chi to die.

The Shen family in Beijing.

It's rare for the Shen family to gather together like this. In the past, they were all in different places, but today they all rushed back home after receiving letters from home.

Shen Ting'an looked at his three younger brothers in the hall, his brows relaxed. The four brothers hadn't gathered together for a long time. This time, their father sent a message to ask the three of them to come back, so they could have a good reunion.

"Brother, is there something wrong that our uncle sent us a message to come back?" The speaker was Shen Yiwen's youngest son, Shen Tingyan.

Shen Tingyan is the youngest of the Shen family's sons, only two years older than Shen Yanyan. He is now studying at Yinglin Academy outside the city, preparing to take part in the imperial examination in the spring of next year.

Now that the academy is on vacation, he has time to come back.

"Yes, uncle didn't say what it was about in the letter." Shen Tingze also said.

Shen Tingze, the eldest son of Shen Yiwen, is twenty-two years old. He now works as a Langzhong in the Ministry of Personnel, managing official files, reviewing officials' qualifications, etc.

"It should be something about the palace. Otherwise, father wouldn't let you come back." Shen Ting'an was not very clear either.

He works in the Hanlin Academy and has been very busy compiling history books recently. He has not been home for a long time.

Besides, Shen Tingjiang usually lives in the military camp and rarely comes back.

Although they were all in the capital, they each had their own things to do and rarely met.

The four of them are tall and straight, each with his own unique demeanor. Shen Ting'an is calm and reserved, Shen Tingjiang is heroic, Shen Tingze is elegant and gentle, and Shen Tingyan is smart and free and easy.

After hearing what was happening in the palace, the two men realized that they had a younger sister entering the palace.

Recently, because of her high grain yield, she was conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort, which is a big deal. However, my third uncle's family is all in Yangzhou, so why did my eldest uncle ask everyone to come back together?

"Okay, Tingjiang and Tingyan, you two just came back from outside the city, go back to your own yard and wash up first. Father and second uncle will be back later, so we brothers will go to pay our respects to grandmother later. You are often not at home, and grandmother misses you a lot." As the eldest brother of the family, Shen Ting'an still has a certain say. As soon as he finished speaking, the other three went to their own yards.

The three of them saw that the eldest brother, who had a happy face just now, was about to change his expression, so they went back to their own yard without asking any more questions. If they stayed any longer, they would inevitably be punished again.

Shen Ting'an looked at the three brothers running away and felt a little headache. These three brothers, Tingjiang was deep-minded, Tingze was strict, and Tingyan was eccentric. Each of them had his own personality. Now that they had grown up, they were better. When he was young, he was really annoyed by these three brothers. Now he felt his head buzzing when he stayed with them for a while.

In the backyard, Old Madam Shen was taking a nap when an old maid walked in.

"Madam, the four young masters have all returned home." The nanny walked to the couch and said softly.

Madam Shen opened her closed eyes slightly, "Are you all back? Didn't the eldest and the third brother go on duty?"

"I have just asked the two young masters. They have asked for leave today. It just so happens that the second and fourth young masters are free today, so the eldest and third young masters have asked for leave." The nanny had just returned from the front hall and had already asked about the situation.

Madam Shen nodded and said, "For lunch, ask the kitchen to prepare some of the children's favorite dishes. It's a rare occasion for them to come back. Especially the second and fourth children."

Mammy nodded and quickly agreed.

The young masters were filial and would come to pay their respects to the old lady during lunch. The old lady also knew the temperaments of the young masters and had prepared their favorite meals early.

At lunch time, the sunlight shines through the leaves in the yard, casting colorful shadows.

The four brothers walked into their grandmother's yard one after another. Their footsteps were slow and steady, as if they were afraid of disturbing the peaceful atmosphere.

In the main hall, Old Madam Shen sat upright on a chair with a kind face and gentle concern in her eyes.

When the brothers saw their grandmother, expressions of respect and concern immediately appeared on their faces, and they quickly walked forward to greet her.

"Grandma, we're here to pay our respects to you." Shen Ting'an spoke first, with a hint of respect in his voice.

"Grandma, are you feeling well?" Shen Tingjiang asked immediately, his eyes falling on his grandmother's face, carefully observing her expression.

"Good, good, you are all here." Grandma replied with a smile. Although her voice was a little old, it was full of love. "Seeing you makes me feel much better."

The third and fourth sons also expressed their concern and regards to their grandmother, and Mrs. Shen responded to them one by one. The scene was warm and harmonious.

The warmth of family affection permeated the air. The brothers surrounded their grandmother and asked about her recent situation. Old Madam Shen patiently answered their questions, her eyes full of love for her grandchildren.

"You haven't been back for a long time. Grandmother has had someone prepare your favorite dishes for you, as well as your brothers' favorite cakes. Try them all," everyone moved to the dining table and looked at the various meals and cakes that were on the table.

Several people responded in unison, their eyes fell on the various delicious dishes on the table, and they couldn't help but feel touched. They grew up in the capital and had seen many families. A harmonious and happy family like this was rare.

Their father and grandfather had no concubines. From their fathers to the current brothers, they are all legitimate brothers, which reduces a lot of conflicts and fights. That is how their Shen family has been able to remain in the capital.

The Shen family has a very good family tradition. Several of the Shen family's sons are still unmarried, but there are many young ladies who want to marry into the Shen family. After all, a family as powerful and harmonious as the Shen family is the first of its kind, at least in the capital.

Who wouldn't want their daughter to marry into such a family?

The table was filled with delicious dishes, the aroma was so fragrant that it made people salivate.

The family sat together, talking and laughing, enjoying themselves. The old man had a kind face and a sweet smile, and the brothers cared for each other and were humble and polite. This warm atmosphere seemed to dispel all fatigue and sorrow, and made people feel the true meaning of home.

There are no quarrels or disputes in this family.

Everyone can truly feel the love and support from each other, and the power of this family affection is like the sun, warming their hearts. They secretly feel lucky that they can grow up in such a warm family, which is a rare happiness.

After lunch, the brothers chatted with their grandmother for a while. During the conversation, Shen Tingjiang mentioned his sister in the palace. Everyone knew that he had just been to Yangzhou some time ago and had met His Majesty and his sister in the palace.

"Yan Yan is doing fine in the palace, and His Majesty treats her well. We brothers will be her supporters in the future, so grandma doesn't have to worry." Shen Tingjiang looked at his grandmother's worried look and comforted her.

After hearing this, Madam Shen's expression improved a lot. She advised: "Although you and Yanyan did not grow up together, your Third Uncle and your father are blood brothers. The children in your Third Uncle's family are also your blood brothers and sisters. The Shen family will rely on you in the future. You must support each other to go on for a long time." The brothers responded in unison, saying that they would support each other.

Seeing this, Madam Shen also nodded.

She taught her three children to be united since they were young, and now she is very pleased to see the appearance of her grandchildren. A family can survive longer if they are united. If the brothers and sisters fight with each other like other families, their Shen family would not be where they are today.

In the evening, everyone in the Shen family gathered in the front hall.

The main hall was brightly lit. The family sat around the dining table. Old Madam Shen sat at the head of the table, with a happy smile on her face. Her two sons and daughters-in-law sat on either side of her, and her four grandchildren sat at the bottom.

The table was filled with a sumptuous dinner and the aroma was fragrant.

Everyone enjoyed the food while chatting happily and laughing.

"Our family hasn't been this lively for a long time." Old Madam Shen looked at her sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren, with indescribable joy on her face.

When people get old, they like being surrounded by their children and grandchildren.

"Yes, mother, Tingjiang and Tingyan are often out, so it has been a long time since it was this lively." Luo Jinxia, ​​the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, said softly as she looked at the table full of people.

The candlelight on the dining table flickered slightly, illuminating everyone's face.

The family sat together, laughter and conversation intertwined, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

After dinner, Old Madam Shen waved her hand gently and dismissed the servants who were waiting on the side. At this moment, only the family members were left in the main hall, and their eyes were all focused on Old Madam Shen, waiting for her next words.

"I guess you guys are all wondering why we called you back!" Old Madam Shen looked at her four grandchildren and said seriously.

Shen Hongwen looked at everyone and said, "You have all heard why Yanyan was named Imperial Noble Consort!"

Everyone nodded. They all knew about this because the high-yield grain was found in Uncle San's home.

"Our Shen family has always stayed away from those factional disputes, which is why we can stand firm in the capital. Neither of our families has any daughters, otherwise, given our family's situation, one of us would have to enter the palace. Now, by some strange coincidence, your third uncle's daughter Yanyan has entered the palace on behalf of our entire Shen family."

Shen Hongwen sighed and continued, "Since she entered the palace, our family's position can no longer be the same as before. Now, His Majesty has made Yanyan the Imperial Noble Consort, which is an honor for the entire Shen family. Since Yanyan presented the grain to His Majesty, our family has stood on His Majesty's side."

"But everyone in the court knows that there will be a war between His Majesty and Prime Minister Gao sooner or later. If we stand on His Majesty's side now, we will be completely enemies with Prime Minister Gao's party. In addition, Yanyan suppresses Concubine Gao in the palace, and our Shen family has been pushed into the open. There will be no peace in the future."

"The reason I called you back today is to let you understand the current situation of the Shen family. Things are different now than before. You must be more careful outside and cautious in official matters. Prime Minister Gao and his party are not so easy to deal with." Shen Hongwen looked at everyone at the table and analyzed them one by one.

According to Prime Minister Gao's style of doing things, he will not let the Shen family go. Now that they have come into conflict, they have to strike first.

Madam Shen looked at the people below and nodded. "From now on, our Shen family and Yanyan are tied together. We will prosper together and suffer together. You four brothers should think more about her in everything in the future. She is your sister."

Several people nodded, especially Shen Ting'an and Shen Tingjiang. As the eldest brother of the family, Shen Ting'an should do this, and Shen Tingjiang had already seen this sister in the palace, and she deserved their family to protect her well.

Although Shen Tingze and Shen Tingyan have never seen this so-called sister, they are a family and will definitely help her in every way.
